[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In looking through the Challenge Index site, I notice that the index doesn't seem to account for the fact that the IB programs are the equivalent of 5-6 APs. The Challenge Index seems like an oversimplistic, easily skewed metric, not really useful for much of anything.[/quote] Earning the full IB Diploma, which I did in HS, is more like the equivalent of 7-8 APs. At least three of the tests are taken at the "higher" level (harder than the AP tests I took) and the program includes the ToK (Theory of Knowledge) course, volunteer work and an extended essay (30-page research paper). I don't like the Challenge Index much either. [/quote]
